When user sets skb_defer_max to 1 the kick threshold is 0 (half of 1). If we increment queue length before the check the kick will never happen, and the skb may get stranded. This is likely harmless but can be avoided by moving the increment after the check. This way skb_defer_max == 1 will always kick. Still a silly config to have, but somehow that feels more correct. While at it drop a comment which seems to be outdated or confusing, and wrap the defer_count write with a WRITE_ONCE() since it's read on the fast path that avoids taking the lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
